We will Never Be the Same

I've been looking everywhere for the lyrics to this song and finally found them today. This song was actually written for a little baby girl named Copeland Farley, who passed away in 2007 with Trisomy 18. It's a beautiful story and you can hear the music to this song on YouTube, as well as view the video of her short time with her family. This is the family whose story I read over and over again while Grant was still here with us, and it helped us to get through some really dark days.
Here are the lyrics below. I wonder daily what it must be like for my child to be already experiencing all these things- and I am in awe.

“Your Days Here” By Jason Ingram

What is it like to be holding the same arms that hold the universe?
What is like to sleep on the chest of the King over Heaven and Earth?
When you open your eyes and look on the face of the Giver of life, the Author of Grace, did you know...

That your days here changed everything
You're missed here and will always be
But you left here, the greatest gift of all,
Cause our hearts ache for home.

What is it like to breathe in and out without having to fight?
What is it like to be robed in perfection, no reason to cry?
When you feel on your face, your Father's kiss, His welcome embrace,
We prayed for this, you should know...

That your days here changed everything
You're missed here and will always be
But you left here, the greatest gift of all,
Cause our hearts ache for home.

So twinkle, twinkle little star, we will keep you in our hearts,
Twinkle, twinkle little star, we will meet you where you are, cause...

Your days here changed everything
You're missed here and will always be
But you left here, the greatest gift of all,
Cause our hearts ache for home.
